A handheld appliance having a body and an attachment, the body includes an attachment mechanism having a slot and an actuator, the attachment including a protrusion adapted to engage with the slot wherein the actuator has a first position and a second position and the actuator is moved from the first position towards the second position as the protrusion engages with the slot. In the first position the actuator may at least partially obscures the slot. The actuator includes a surface which may interact with the protrusion when the protrusion engages with the slot. The surface may be adapted to at least partially define the slot at or near the second position. When the protrusion is at a pre-determined position within the slot, the actuator may return towards the first position. The actuator may be biased into the first position.
A handheld appliance having a body and an attachment, the body comprising an attachment mechanism having a first slot and an actuator, the attachment comprising a first protrusion configured to engage with the first slot, wherein the actuator has a first position and a second position and the actuator is slidably moved from the first position towards the second position in a longitudinal direction of the body as the first protrusion engages with the first slot;
A handheld appliance having a body and an attachment, the body comprising an attachment mechanism having a first slot and an actuator, the attachment comprising a first protrusion configured to engage with the first slot, wherein the actuator has a first position and a second position and the actuator is slidably moved from the first position towards the second position in a longitudinal direction of the body as the first protrusion engages with the first slot, further comprising a user operated button which engages with the actuator.
